Fitomaniana 1
1 Indrisy, mitoetra manirery izao ilay tanàna feno olona! Efa tonga toy ny mpitondratena izy! Ilay nalaza tamin’ ny firenena sy andriambavy tamin’ ny tany samy hafa dia efa miankin-doha kosa izao!
How desolate sits the city of Jerusalem, once filled with people! She has become like a widow, she who was once great among the nations. The queen of all the world has become a slave-laborer.
2 Mitomany dia mitomany izy nony alina, ary ny ranomasony dia eny an-takolany; Izay rehetra tia azy dia tsy misy mampionona azy; Ny sakaizany rehetra efa nivadika taminy ka tonga fahavalony.
She cries bitterly through the night, tears rolling down her cheeks. Despite all her many lovers, no one comes to comfort her. Betrayed by all her friends, they are now her enemies.
3 Lasan-ko babo ny Joda noho ny fahoriana sy ny haben’ ny fanompoana; Mipetraka ao amin’ ny jentilisa izy, nefa tsy mahita fitsaharana; Izay rehetra nanenjika azy dia nahatratra azy teo an-ketena.
Judah has been dragged off into captivity, suffering miserably under brutal slavery; she lives among the nations but has no place of her own where she can rest. Those chasing her have brought her down and she cannot escape.
4 Ireo lalana mankany Ziona dia mitomany, satria tsy misy miakatra ho amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana; Lao ny vavahadiny rehetra, misento ny mpisorony; Ory ny virijinany, ary Ziona dia efa azon’ ny fahoriana mangidy.
Even the roads to Zion are in mourning because no one travels on them to go to the religious festivals. All her gates are empty. Her priests groan in sadness. Her girls are suffering. She herself is in bitter distress.
5 Ny rafiny no mpanapaka, ny fahavalony no miadana, Satria Jehovah no efa nampahory azy noho ny hamaroan’ ny fahotany; Ny zanany madinika dia lasan-ko babo eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony,
Those who hated her now control her; her enemies enjoy life, because the Lord has made her suffer due to all her sins of rebellion. Her children have been taken away as prisoners of the enemy.
6 Ary ny voninahitr’ i Ziona zanakavavy rehetra dia efa tsy ananany intsony; Ny mpanapaka azy dia toy ny diera tsy mahita ahitra, Ary mandeha reraka eo anoloan’ ny mpanenjika azy izy.
All the glory has left the Daughter of Zion. Her leaders are like deer that can't find any grass to eat. They don't even have the strength to run away when the hunter comes after them!
7 Tsaroan’ i Jerosalema amin’ ny andro fahoriany sy fanjenjenany ny zava-tsoa rehetra izay nananany hatry ny ela; Fa nony naripaky ny fahavalo ny olony, ka tsy nisy namonjy azy, dia nahita azy ny fahavalo ka nihomehy ny faharavany.
As she wanders around in her misery, Jerusalem thinks back to all the wonderful things she once had in the old days. When her enemies conquered her people, she didn't receive any help. Her enemies gloated over her, and laughed at her downfall.
8 Efa nanota dia nanota Jerosalema, ka izany no nahatonga azy ho fahavetavetana; izay rehetra nanaja azy dia mamingavinga azy, satria efa nahita ny fitanjahany ireny; Eny, na ny tenany aza dia miferinaina sady miamboho.
Jerusalem sinned terribly which is why she is now treated as someone unclean. Everyone who used to honor her now despise her, because they've seen her naked and ashamed. She herself groans as she turns away.
9 Ny lotony dia teo amin’ ny moron-tongotr’ akanjony, tsy nitsapa farany izy; Dia mahagaga ny fietreny, tsy misy mampionona azy. Jehovah ô, jereo ny fahoriako, fa mirehareha ny fahavalo.
Her uncleanness contaminates her skirts. She didn't think about what would happen. Her fall was a shock, and no one was there to comfort her. “Please, Lord, see how much I'm suffering, because the enemy has won!” she says.
10 Ny fahavalo naninjitra ny tànany naka ny zava-tsoany rehetra; Fa ny jentilisa, izay noraranao tsy hiditra amin’ ny fiangonanao, dia hitany tafiditra ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna.
The invader has stolen all her treasures. She even had to watch as heathen nations went into her sanctuary, people you had forbidden to enter.
11 Misento ny olony rehetra, mitady hanina; Eny, atakalony hanina ny zava-tsoany hamelombelona ny ainy; Jehovah ô, jereo ka diniho, fa vingavingaina aho.
All her people groan, looking for bread. They have spent what they value the most to buy food so they can stay alive. “Please, Lord, look and see what's happening to me,” she says. “It's as if I'm worthless!
12 Moa tsy mampaninona anareo va, ry mpandalo rehetra? Jereo sy izahao raha mba misy fahoriana toy ny fahoriako, izay namelezany ahy, dia ilay nampahorian’ i Jehovah ahy tamin’ ny andro firehetan’ ny fahatezerany.
Don't you care anything about it, all you people passing by? Take a look and see! Is there any suffering as bad as mine, punished by the Lord when he became angry?
13 Avy tany amin’ ny avo no nandatsahany afo ho amin’ ny taolako handoroany azy; Namela-pandrika harato haningorana ny tongotro Izy ka nampihemotra ahy; Nampahalao sy nampahareraka ahy mandritra ny andro Izy.
He sent down fire from heaven that destroyed my bones. He spread out a net to catch my feet, tripping me over. He abandoned me, leaving me sick all day long.
14 Ny ziogan’ ny fahotako nofehezin’ ny tànany; Voaolana ireny ka tonga eo an-katoko; noketrahiny ny heriko; Natolotry ny Tompo ho eo an-tànan izay tsy leoko aho.
He took my rebellious sins and twisted them together into a yoke that he tied to my neck. He took away all my strength, and handed me over defenseless to my enemies.
15 Nataon’ ny Tompo tsinontsinona ny maheriko rehetra; Nanendry fotoana hamelezana ahy Izy, handringanana ny zatovoko; Ny Tompo nanosihosy an’ i Joda zanakavavy virijina toy ny eo amin’ ny famiazam-boaloboka.
The Lord brushed aside all my strong soldiers defending me. He called up an army to attack me, to crush my young men. The Lord has trampled down the virgin Daughter of Judah like grapes in a winepress.
16 Izany zavatra izany no mampitomany ahy; e! ny masoko, ny masoko mamarin-dranomaso, fa lavitra ahy ny mpampionona izay tokony hamelombelona ny fanahiko; Ringana ny zanako, fa mahery ny fahavalo.
This is why I'm weeping, tears flowing from my eyes, because there's is no one here to comfort me, no one to make me feel better. There's nothing left for my children because the enemy has conquered us.”
17 Ziona mananty tanana, nefa tsy misy mampionona azy; Jehovah nandidy ny amin’ i Jakoba mba ho tonga fahavalony ny manodidina azy; Jerosalema dia tonga fahavetavetana eo afovoan’ ireo.
Zion holds out her hands in distress, but there's no one to comfort her. The Lord issued orders against Jacob, and his neighbors became his enemies. Jerusalem is to them something disgusting.
18 Marina Jehovah, fa efa nandà ny teniny aho; Ry firenena rehetra, masìna ianareo, mba jereo ny fahoriako; Lasan-ko babo ny virijinako sy ny zatovoko.
“The Lord has done what's right, because I rebelled against his instructions. Listen, everyone everywhere; look at what I'm suffering. My young women and young men have been taken off into captivity.
19 Nantsoiko ireo tia ahy, fa nofitahiny aho; Ny mpisoroko sy ny loholoko niala aina tao an-tanana, Tamin’ ny nitadiavany hanina hamelombelona ny ainy.
I called out for help to my lovers, but they betrayed me. My priests and elders starved to death in the city as they tried to find food to keep themselves alive.
20 Izahao, Jehovah ô, fa azom-pahoriana aho, mandevilevy ny foko; Miontana ato anatiko ny foko, fa naditra dia naditra aho; Eny ivelany dia ny sabatra no mahafoana anaka, ary ao an-trano dia toa misy fahafatesana kosa.
Can't you see, Lord, how upset I am? inside I am in turmoil; my heart is breaking because I've been so rebellious. Outside, the sword kills those I love; inside, it's like I'm living in the house of death.
21 Reny fa misento aho; tsy misy mampionona ahy; Ny fahavaloko rehetra nandre ny fahoriako, ka faly izy, satria Hianao no nanao izany; Hahatonga izay andro nantsoinao Hianao, ka dia ho tonga tahaka ahy koa ireo.
People hear me groaning, but no one comes to comfort me. All my enemies have heard about the bad things that have happened to me, and they're delighted that it was you who did it. Please bring about the day of judgment that you promised so they can end up like me.
22 Aoka ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny faharatsiany rehetra, ary mba ataovy aminy kosa tahaka izay nataonao tamiko noho ny fahotako rehetra; Fa imbetsaka ny fisentoako, ka reraka ny foko.
May you see all the evil things they've done! Treat them the same way as you've treated me as a result of all my rebellious sins, for I'm groaning all the time, and I'm sick at heart.”
